I spent $238 on 4 Patty Griffin floor seats but there weren't enough chairs for all of us. The main room was oversold.

The stern female promoter told me "the balcony is also the floor seats" although the main staircase to the balcony was closed off & the upper level was illuminated by two photography light umbrellas which were a huge distraction, due to the light pollution.

Despite the fact at least 20 empty chairs were available in the orchestra section the rest of us were forced to stand, or endure the re-amplified sound on pair of QSC speakers in the balcony. Either choice made for a bad concert experience.

I can't recommend the 20th Century Theater in Oakley.

I think Oakley deserves a 21st Century Theater instead.
